And I'm all nervous.
The plan is to trade in my '07 Sporty for a '14 Dyna LR. This is a big expense on a non-essential. But I did a lot of research and I feel it's the right bike at the right time.

The only unknown at the moment is how much (or little) they'll give me for my bike. It's all clean and ready to go, in fact, probably hasn't ever been this clean since I owned it, ha ha. But there's passing rain showers in the forecast, which sucks.

The dealer is 60 mi away, opens at 10am. I'm pretty tired so I hope I pass out and sleep good. Gonna need it!

Whatever your bike books at, expect a good bit less. I hope everything works out for you, the low rider is probably my favorite non touring bike.

Don’t be afraid to walk away. Know what the nada and kbb are on your sporty before you leave tomorrow. Also look up the value of the Low Rider. Make sure they’re not trying to stick it to you on either side

I just bought a 14 flhtk. I had been looking for the last few months, had financing lined up, and had submitted a few offers but no one bit. I was standing at work doing something amd i just thought "im going to call this dealer, see if they have a bike i had called about a week prior and if they did i was buying it". They had it, i was next to my boss i said "hey im going to buy a motorcycle, cya tomorow." I went and picked up a uhaul and drove 3 hrs to get it.

You'll likely get hosed on the Sporty so be ready for it. Trade in is always a no win for the buyer.

I'm finding this out the hard way.
